Abstract
The nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation in fish scales were investigated. Calcium and phosphate ions were effectively accumulated in the scales by the immersion processes. The HAp nanoparticles arranged in one direction in the internal fibrillary plate layers were observed, revealing the crystal growth along with the collagen fibers to resultantly form the porous structures. Thus, the arrangement of collagen fibers inside the scales effectively form the HAp nanostructures.
